Manage SSH Keys for Cloud VPS

Here we will cover how to add and remove SSH keys on a Cloud VPS server using AMP.

Cloud VPS servers do not come with cPanel installed, so these keys are managed in AMP.

SSH keys are necessary to make an SSH connection to the server.

At this time, Bare Metal Dedicated Servers do not have the option to manage SSH keys through AMP. APS or Systems can add keys manually or reset the root password to help the customer gain access.
